Google Analytics helps website owners understand how people use their site. It provides data on
|
|
visitor demographics, behavior, and interactions, helping improve websites and marketing strategies.
|
|
|
|
To follow your Odoo website's traffic with Google Analytics:
|
|
|
|
#. Create or sign in to a Google account using the following link: `<https://analytics.google.com>`_.
|
|
#. - If you are setting up Google Analytics for the first time, click :guilabel:`Start measuring`
|
|
and go through the account creation step.
|
|
- If you already have a Google Analytics account, sign in and click the gear icon in the
|
|
bottom-left corner of the page to access the **Admin** page. Then, click :guilabel:`+ Create
|
|
Property`.

|
|
business details, and business objectives.

|
|
#. In the :guilabel:`SEO` section, enable :guilabel:`Google Analytics`, then paste the
|
|
:guilabel:`Measurement ID`.
|
|
|
|
.. tip::
|
|
If you have :doc:`multiple websites <../configuration/multi_website>` with separate domains, it
|
|
is recommended to create `one property <https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9304153?hl=en/&visit_id=638278591144564289-3612494643&rd=2#property>`_
|
|
per domain. In Odoo, in the **Website settings**, make sure to select the website in the
|
|
:guilabel:`Website` field before pasting the :guilabel:`Measurement ID`.
|
|

|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
It is no longer possible for new Google Analytics accounts to integrate their **Google Analytics
|
|
Dashboard** inside their **Odoo Dashboard**. Since `July 2023 <https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/11583528>`_,
|
|
**Universal Analytics** is no longer supported and has been replaced by **Analytics 4**, which
|
|
`doesn't allow <https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/233738709?pli=1>`_ its dashboard to be
|
|
integrated into external websites. You now have to check your Analytics data directly in the
|
|
Google Platform.
